View Poll Results: Which reuse/redeco figure do you want as the next traveling convention figure?

I personally don't want to see main or undone characters as an exclusive....Orko & Adam were bad as exclusives, but the good thing was you could get them on Matty, but that's done....no more. So to say about Filmation Hordak as a Travelling exclusive....no.

But a Blue vested Prince Adam....that would work.

And why do people think of Kronis as a variant? He's spare parts included as accessories with Trap Jaw, predominately only 200X fans and those that display figures with multiple looks care. I know I don't, his head and arm are at the bottom of my parts box where they stay. If you count him as a variant, then you have to count the 200X version of Fisto, the 200X version of Stinkor, every figure with multiple heads as variants....etc.

I know I have seen many places on this board where many consider Kronis a variant....like Keldor....I don't even consider Keldor & Adam variants, they are not, they are separate characters at different times in the story....Keldor is Keldor, once he becomes Skeletor, Skeletor is Skeletor, no matter what armor he has on. Adam is Adam until he "held aloft his magic sword" And while he's still Adam inside, He is He-Man....if nothing else He-Man is a variant of Adam.

None of the above. I'd rather they create a new character out of existing parts like they did with Strobo.

Strobo was a character from the comics. They didn't just create him for the traveling convention item. There are not many characters that remain that use as pieces as Strobo does, if any at all. But, I made another poll about potential figures for the traveling exclusive that could use additional tooling. That might be up your alley.

Kronis is a variant of sorts b/c Trap Jaw is essentially two figures in one, like Marlena and Captain Glenn. It doesn't matter if they're in your spare parts bin, it makes an MYP pre-transformation Trap Jaw whether you like the parts or not. It's more than just Fisto with a headband, as it marks a severe biological transformation. So yes, Trap Jaw technically has two figures already.
Keldor is a Skeletor variant b/c he's Skeletor before his face melted off. Which is why he took an A-list variant slot.
Adam is a variant b/c it's the same person wearing different clothes. He-Man isn't an Adam variant b/c He-Man is the star of the franchise.

i m very saddened by this poll. i want to vote filmmatin hordak as i want him more than almost any other character. but as pure reuse i cant vote him. he needs a new filmation headsculpt minimum.

so i voted camo kahn assuming he would have the snakemen symbol on his chest like the intage one. hes my kahn snakeman and a unique character from kobra kajn who was never a snakeman by affilition for me.

Well, so far it is Filmation Hordak in 1st, Camo Khan (my choice) in 2nd, and Red Beast Man in 3rd. Mini-Comic Trapjaw id 4th with Card Back Ram Man in 5th.

I would also like a new head sculpt for Filmation Hordak, but I believe I read Scott or someone else on Ask Matty state that a Filmation variant of Hordak would just have a redeco of the existing head.

Anyone that voted for "other" because they wanted a unique tooling didn't read the poll, so your votes are null. There is a different poll for newly sculpted characters. Please vote there if you haven't already. Thanks!

I could go for a Camo Khan and would like to see him as a new character since he'd be basically Kobra Khan with Buzz Off arms and a new deco. Possibly a more savage ancestor of the Snake Men...I don't know. Maybe Snap-Fang?

I'm gonna piggy back on this idea. I'd much rather see a figure that, even if they're not a new character, can be used as one with just a little squirt of imagination. The others on the list are more difficult to do that with. Camo Khan fits that bill the best to me.

Red Beast could be a good stand in for Beastlord for King Grayskull's posse though, I suppose.

Camo Khan would be great as the ancestor to Kobra Khan and the Clan Kobra, sucked into the void 5000 years ago. To make him extra special, instead of just a reuse of parts, would be if they cast him in color changing plastic. So, when he is in direct sunlight, be becomes clear except for the snake logo and his dark camo spots and stripes. I think that would look great.
